They are not allowed to use a lack of travel history as a criteria to reject but the occasional VO doesn't care about their own rules...

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html Says 9 weeks for those applying in India for a Canadian study permit

As far as PGWP outside Canada, here's the guidelines: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/apply.html

Kinda sucks in that case but you should also keep it mind that the $2k hotel bit might stay in place for the entirety of the year.

Did you even read the original press release by the Govt. of Canada? https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2021/01/government-of-canada-introduces-further-restrictions-on-international-travel.html As soon as possible in the coming weeks, all air travellers arriving in Canada, with...

Colleges can't discriminate like that - literally illegal for public colleges. Why do agents in India love to spread crap like this?

What country you from? What's the receiving bank? Provide some background at least - we aren't CIBC customer care to know everything automatically.

They'll take more than a week to apply this. Here's the actual official press release: https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2021/01/government-of-canada-introduces-further-restrictions-on-international-travel.html "As soon as possible in the coming weeks, all air travellers arriving...

The real reason: to shore up the hotel industry

I'll never understand why Canada is the only western country to have this weird policy of usually rejecting applicants applying from outside their homeland. Meanwhile other countries' VO's actually view this as a positive since you've essentially demonstrated that you've lived long-term in...

Does your brother happen to be in a GCC country?

Who are "they" in this case? My point is did you attempt to talk to an individual higher up the chain? You can try contacting/faxing the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities (or it's equivalent for your college's province if it's not in Ontario)...

Did you escalate the issue up the chain inside the college? Especially via fax or phone? Too many people just use email and Canadian colleges are extremely slow at responding to emails.

Stop spreading misinformation. How do you know students are not exempt? No one ponies up the $$$ on a Canadian college/uni to do it online from their home country. This is literally the most recent "restriction" (and it's not even a restriction - just stricter screener for certain people)...

Did you order GCMS to see what the officer's notes?

You can't apply from outside Canada unless you were a Canadian citizen or held PR - in which case you wouldn't be an "international student".

Plenty of VoIP services online that allow you to get a Canadian mobile number for cheap anywhere in the wold. Instead of bothering with expensive international roaming, just subscribe to any of these services for a month.

Most education consultants are worthless. I've heard the same from a lot of them and it's totally false. Only Algonquin says that distance learning credentials aren't recognized by them. The rest don't care. As long as your university/college is recognized by UGC and allowed by UGC to offer...

Biometrics remain valid for a decade regardless of the outcome of your visa.

Depends on his course. If it's a masters program then deferring might be a good idea. Same if it's a 1 year certificate/grad certificate. But for a diploma? Losing a month isn't a huge deal to be honest. Jan session only started 1-2 weeks ago depending on the college. He's better off asking the...
